medieval weapons

weapons are what wone the war. Three popular weapons were the Francisca throwing AX, the winged spear, and the iron aged dagger. The Francisca throwing ax was popular with the Germanic warriors who fought against Rome. It was used in the similar way of the javelin, thrown before contact with enemy to creat gaps in enemy lines. The winged spear was used for hunting and for war, it can hook a sheild out of the way and the wings on it can stop weapons from sliding down the handle to cut your hand. The iron aged dagger would have belonged to a tribal chief and used for every day functions but only in extreme circumstances would he use it in battle.
